Good question @tisme, you reminded me to update the info on my suggestion.
So, I had an app with my oncologist and asked about a few supplements. This was specifically for my type of bc, which was hormone positive, HER2 negative. I’m on hormone suppressors.
Turmeric (curcumin) is perfectly safe to take. So is Vit D with calcium. About 3000 units to start with, then can reduce dose to 1000 units daily. Collagen, magnesium, spirulina are also safe. The Orac Greens Powder (only available online) is not recommended for hormone positive bc cos there’s some ingredients that may increase the production of oestrogen, so better not to take it. It would be ok for hormone negative bc.
Hope this helps somewhat. These are the ones I take, hence the info on them.
